The 2016 NFL Draft is 17 days away, and after a very busy post-Super Bowl off-season, the Broncos have quite a few needs they’ll have to address with their 10 picks (four in the first three rounds). Everyone is going to talk about the quarterbacks, but the real strength of this draft class lies in the trenches, where especially the interior d-linemen position is extremely deep in talent.
Getting the defense as close to last season’s form as possible will be crucial in repeating as Super Bowl champions. This will require plugging some important holes, none bigger than standout defensive end Malik Jackson, who left for Jacksonville and their $90 million offer.
